Russell Brand watches a documentary that alleges Princess Diana was murdered by a secret government conspiracy, and tries to make sense of why this could have happened. He's joined by special guest Luke Massey to discuss it, and to discuss conspiracy theories about the death of Princess Diana.
00:00:18.000Thanks for joining me today for Stay Free with Russell Brand.
00:00:20.000Wherever you're watching this, we'll be on Rumble Premium and Rumble for the next hour, watching an extraordinary controversial documentary that alleges that Princess Diana was sort of murdered by conspiracy.
00:00:32.000What's amazing about it is that even though it's, what, 30 years ago, it functions as a piece of almost nostalgia porn.
00:00:39.000Not that I'm suggesting you should use it in that manner.
00:00:43.000But what is clear is that however Princess Diana died, like so many high-profile public events, the story we are being told has definite anomalies and contradictions in it.
00:00:58.000So whether it's the murder of JFK, the falling of the Twin Towers, the Epstein list, where is that list, by the way?
00:01:03.000It seems that there's an official narrative and then an ulterior narrative that's usually concealed because the conclusions you would draw if you were given the truth is that you can't trust the media, you can't trust the establishment, and existing technology should be used to devolve power to its smallest possible units, which would mean we would all live in parallel economies and democracies.
00:01:25.000It was made by the actor and I suppose broadcaster Keith Allen from the UK, whose daughter Lily Allen's a big pop star in the United Kingdom, or certainly was at one time.
00:01:49.000It's one of those things where you'll start watching it and you'll think, hmm, in studio also is, Isaac, you are Jewish and therefore probably was somehow involved in the murder of Diana for one way or another, I'd imagine.
00:02:01.000Certainly one of the ancestors, I mean, they get their hands in a lot of pies.
00:02:31.000I went to London for a little bit, but I stayed in Wycliffe Hall in Oxford, so I got to walk around and see the schools and everything, and it was remarkable.
00:03:14.000She was the end of the age of glamour.
00:03:16.000I can't believe that Luke doesn't know about it and yet he calls himself a Christian.
00:03:24.000This is an interesting insight into conspiracies generally, the British establishment, and the power of independent media to tell new stories.
00:03:33.000The reason I'm so interested in it is because when I first tried to watch it, it was really repressed and controlled.
00:03:39.000First time I watched it, it had Russian subtitles.
00:03:41.000Now they're like, give them this, give them this.
00:06:48.000There were arguments, lies, tears, and accusations, as intimate details of their private lives were dissected on the world stage.
00:06:57.000Yet before the court case had even begun, the media had already decided what the verdict should be.
00:07:03.000However, in Britain and around the world, millions of ordinary people were convinced, and after the inquest still are convinced, that the deaths of Princess Diana and Dodie fired were no accident.
00:07:22.000My own opinion, there can be no doubt that she was actually murdered.
00:07:25.000When the woman left a note saying, FYI, if I'm dead, here's how it's going to happen, and then it happens exactly like that, I think someone should pay attention.
00:07:34.000I mean, I just know our initial reaction was, well, they finally killed her.
00:07:51.000She's the sister of the wife of Tony Blair.
00:07:56.000Tony Blair, Tony Blair's married to Cheryl Bove, she was called.
00:08:01.000Her father was a famous actor in a very famous British sitcom, which I think you got guys remade as all in the family.
00:08:13.000And yeah, she was like one of those, you know how like a famous person will often have a crazy relative, like Sly Stallone's got Frank Stallone.
00:09:36.000And sometimes I feel like famous women in particular, like Amy Winehouse, who of course died, Britney Spears, who didn't, in my country, there were a couple of reality stars, Caroline Flack and Jade Goody, who like the sort of media treatment of them is so virulent and vicious that it, I think, is backed by the same energy that wants a sacrifice.
00:10:42.000Like Princess Diana's the sort of clearest example.
00:10:45.000Well, Monroe, Marian Monroe, if there's an American equivalent, this Marilyn Monroe, but you know, there's not quite because of royalty and stuff.
00:10:53.000She knew she was going to be bumped off.
00:10:56.000I wasn't sure if Diana's death was an accident or murder, but I suspected a cover-up by the British establishment.
00:11:03.000An elaborate exercise in burying the truth rather than uncovering it.
00:11:07.000I suspected a conspiracy, but this isn't just the old story about a conspiracy before the crash.
00:11:13.000It's about a conspiracy after the crash.
00:11:16.000We all know that the biggest scandals are always the cover-ups.
00:11:19.000It isn't the watergate, it's not the break-in, it's the cover-up which is the big scandal.
00:11:22.000When you have the head of the British security services calmly announcing we have never killed anybody in the last a young, plucky, fresh-faced Pierge Morgan participating interesting in the last 50 years, I laughed out loud.
00:12:04.000The royal family likes to present itself as part of a benign and freedom-loving tradition in films such as The King's Speech.
00:12:12.000As you will have gathered by now, this film is the antidote to the King's speech.
00:12:16.000The inquest was held in the royal family's own court, so is it any wonder that the coroner, the royal representative in charge, I've bunged that in to make this film promotable.
00:12:29.000Because King's Speech isn't made by the Royal Family.
00:12:32.000This is a Hollywood two-hander made from a play.
00:12:36.000An adorable, if anything, sports movie, I would say.
00:12:45.000Is it any wonder that the coroner, the royal representative in charge, decided that the key royal suspects need not even appear at the inquest to be questioned?
00:12:53.000Right from the inquest's first day, I thought, what if this woman's name had been Diana Smith, and she'd written in a note which had been subsequently unveiled: My husband Charles Smith wants me to die in a car accident.
00:13:12.000In any other family or in any other country, surely Charles Smith would have been called to the witness stand at the inquest into his wife's death.
00:13:22.000Every word you hear from the courtroom has been meticulously reconstructed just as it happened.
00:13:28.000I also have my own undercover reporter in the president, Richard Wiseman, listening to the journalists' conversations.
00:13:35.000Every word you hear them say is noted down exactly and precisely timed and dated.
00:13:40.000I thought when we started that I had about a fortnight before somebody tripped over my notes and realised that I actually wasn't making notes on the inquest, I was making notes on what the other journalists were saying to each other.
00:13:54.000And the longer it went on, the more I thought, I can't believe I'm getting away with this.
00:13:59.000For once, a reporter was doing the dirty on his colleagues.
00:14:03.000So the world could learn how they only reported one side of the story, ignoring anything that didn't fit their pre-written script.
00:14:09.000This looks like six months of my life, I'm not gonna get back.
00:14:12.000It's an absolute fucking nightmare, isn't it?
00:14:18.000There's a road accent, for Christ's sake, get over it.
00:14:22.000Young girls identify with the person who becomes the consort.
00:15:25.000It's grown high in the Bolivian mountains where the air is thin, the vibes are thick, and the beans basically whisper ancient truths to the winds.
00:15:34.000No acidic afterburn, no synthetic weirdness.

00:15:54.000The royal family, it really is true, are much more, at least in that generation, are much more interested in animals than they are in human beings.
00:16:00.000The royals are not a sentimental bunch and treat their wives like farmers treat cattle.
00:17:09.000He's got this interview on Howard Stern.
00:17:14.000He has Mohammed Al-Fayed, owner of Howard's, entrepreneur, father of Dodi Al-Fayed, boyfriend of Diana at the time of her death.
00:17:27.000First of all, Mr. Al-Fayed, you have been saying for years that you believe your son was not the victim of an accident, that when he was with Lady D. Just because he's got a model of himself in the background wearing a kilt, don't let that undermine his testimony.
00:17:43.000If your son was not the victim of an accident, that when he was with Lady Dye, the royal family was so upset with her dating him, the fact that he was Muslim, they had him bumped off.
00:17:55.000In other words, this was a hit, a murder, and not an accident.
00:18:46.000If my daughters were in that car, would Lady Die and this was, you know.
00:18:51.000Of course you'd want to get to the bottom of it.
00:18:52.000I'd want to get to the bottom of it, and I don't blame you.
00:18:54.000Mr. Alfaed, just as a background, are you a self-made guy?
00:18:57.000I mean, did you just come to all I know is he owns Harrods, and that store is amazing.
00:19:04.000I think the whole bloody thing, Frasis, I think that Muhammad, from the day that he came here and had the temerity to bid for the top people's store, has been considered to be some sort of a wog.
00:19:16.000Nigger, if you like, who has sort of thrust him now?
00:20:05.000Born in Alexandria under British colonial rule, Mohammed quickly left behind his humble Egyptian origins, making a fortune as a middleman for British firms in the Middle East, and whilst doing so, becoming a global billionaire.
00:20:18.000Proving that it's not where you come from that matters, it's where you end up.
00:20:23.000And he's ended up in a very nice place indeed.
00:20:26.000Besides having owned Harrods for 25 years, Mohammed Al-Fayyed owns the Paris Ritz, a villa in Saint-Tropez, a Scottish castle, and a Tudor mansion on the edge of London.
00:20:41.000But he chooses to spend much of his time in this tent, so he can be close to the burial place of his son.
00:21:22.000In his time, as from Egypt, a Muslim man, but he was still fascinating with wanting to be a part of what England had to offer.
00:21:33.000Where you see now it feels like we want to completely maybe destroy from the outside, change England completely to look, you know, like what Tommy Robinson would say.
00:21:48.000I mean, also our understanding of the nature of migration is altered because there's a sense that Britain as a global imperial power that had conquered and exploited India, the Middle East and, you know, near countless other countries had this kind of obligation to participate in a kind of restitution for the damage done.
00:22:16.000And someone like Muhammad Al-Fayed, he was a kind of a, regarded as a novelty and his attempts to fit in with the British establishment and obviously his financial success and business acumen made him in some spaces an admired individual.
00:22:35.000But he was also, well, he was treated pretty bad by the establishment.
00:22:38.000He was kind of mocked and ridiculed on TV pretty regular.
00:22:42.000But yeah, there's an episode of The Crown actually that sort of covers him.
00:24:57.000No, like I was more, when big cultural things happened, I was still always, and still sort of a little bit do, feel like, whoa, this is crazy.
00:25:05.000I see it much more glitch in the matrix type stuff.
00:25:08.000Like it wasn't, the energy was peculiar.
00:25:15.000If you think about faith in God, people might sort of ridicule faith in God because of the, because of the faith aspect, it requires what one might regard from another perspective as an imaginative leap.
00:25:26.000But if you're supporting a football team, of course the football team is verifiably present.
00:25:32.000You can sort of see that they are there.
00:25:33.000But your connection to the football team is a faith-based connection.
00:25:37.000Like my support of West Ham and my emotions being either positive or negative based on the outcome of West Ham's performance on a football field is a faith-based, I've believed myself into caring and believing that I'm personally impacted.
00:25:54.000It's a football team that's near where I'm from.
00:25:58.000There are ways of rationally understanding it, but it's not rational that I'm so demonstrative or if I was at the stadium and when I've been at the stadium, cheering, singing, engaged and involved.
00:26:08.000Now, when like the royal family and the belief that the royal family are a sort of symbol of power or the remember when I remember like I wasn't living in America at the time of Jan 6 and I felt like why are people outraged that they went in there because what like the capital why is the capital sacred don't we all feel now that politics is completely corrupt and that institutions and emblems of power aren't sacred but now I know a bit more about America I can see like why people would revere the
00:26:38.000capital and what you say it represents now so when something happens like diana dies or 9 11 i feel you you're momentarily subject to the reality that it's all quite fragile that it's all just sort of hanging together like the royal family could have collapsed in this moment if it like it shook a little bit people could have gone yeah let's not have a royal family it wouldn't have been if you'd have had the right forces at play in that moment and
00:27:06.000not that long after this in the uk there was the murder of a school girl and it was discovered that the newspapers as was standard practice at that time had hacked her phone and were able to listen to her messages like to try you know the the media were doing that they were doing that to celebrities but they also in this instance did it to a sort of a dead school girl's phone when people found out that that had happened you know people will take it that they listen to
00:27:36.000hugh grant's messages or any number of famous people they were doing it to the royal family as well but when they sort of found out this they'd been doing it to a dead girl which meant that the parents when they investigated found that the messages on the answer phone had been listened to so they thought oh my god she must be alive because the answer phone messages have been listened to and like and then they went no what it is is newspapers have been doing that like people were like oh my god they had to shut the newspaper that was most culpable was called the news of the world which was a rupert murdoch owned news international which
00:28:06.000owns for a while owned all of fox and owns uh the times to this day and other british prominent and australian and american news they calculated shut down that whole newspaper because if we don't this could spread we could be like it could destroy us now i think what we're living in now is there's such volatility and chaos i'm surprised watching this the keith allen got that access like he's speaking to mohammed al-fayyad like he's the father of a man that died in that
00:28:36.000car who was good you know possibly maybe about to marry diana and and what i feel like now is this like look at what happened to joe like the biggest and best example is joe rogan had the temerity to use a word from this documentary to say i didn't get a vaccine i instead used ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine uh and uh these other methods and like look at the response to that the response was that the whole media machine tried to destroy him now it's only a little while
00:29:05.000ago that happened and people are trying to reconfigure and move around and pretend that that didn't really happen and we can still trust the media but what exists now what i feel we live in now is a time where there is such potential fragility that if there was an event that people like you know like the death of a child is always a sort of a possibility or something that reaches symbolically deeply into people there could be real southern radical change yeah and i think that when
00:29:35.000um you see stuff like this that captures the imagination it has an impact and by the way do you see it by the way isaac see if you can find this this is a real research gig there are clay there are i believe it's statistically true that in the nights after um high profile fights like boxing matches or probably the same mma matches the um incidences of violence and reports of er use goes up like people fight more when there's been a big fight right like there's public
00:30:04.000imagination there's other information that suggests that when there's an event like 9/11 a mass consciousness event where everyone in the world's consciousness and attention's on it there's some binary machine that's continually crew generating random numbers and and during events of mass consciousness it goes into sequences and patterns let's see if we can find that thing before i because i like it suggests that consciousness impacts well yes no different than the double slit thing and probably a little more um sort of
00:30:34.000hocus pocus i'm going to look it up let's watch a bit more of this so i think diana's a significant event because it was a moment where the world might have changed and isn't it marvelous how the establishment can accommodate these events and bring them back into sort of the fold like in a way if 9/11's anything other than literally what we were told in the first hours afterwards or weeks at least give them some time to investigate then that's reason enough to completely reorganize society and you know you know and i know that it isn't what they told us and yet we're not completely reorganizing society so
00:31:02.000why is that the crash happened on the 31st of august 1997 the last day of an extraordinary month for diana
00:31:14.000there was the whirlwind romance with dodie fevered speculation in the press that she was about to get married even that she might be pregnant where would it all end would the mother of the future king of england get hitched to a muslim and have children by him too and set up a rival court in the usa the princess of the world at that time the girl everybody wanted
00:31:39.000i see this is tony coast this is a really weird documentary the girl everybody was from sparkus and trapeze and everything the girl everybody wanted i saw him with her jamie lee curtis's dad luke something really freaky friday lindsey loham how contemporary do we have to
00:31:59.000get the girl everybody wanted i saw him with her i saw the house in
00:32:11.000in malibu that todie was gonna buy we can't make this content without the support of our partners is a message from one now rumble is farting out the fierce cock of authoritarianism and clamping shut the butt cheeks of free speech baby when major advertisers conspired to pull their dollary dues even brands like dunking Donuts turned their back claiming Rumble had a right-wing culture.
00:32:35.000But we're not here to fit a mold, we're here to defend free expression.
00:32:39.000Content from creators like Russell Brand.
00:33:14.000Who knows what might have happened if she'd lived.
00:33:17.000So whether you think it was an accident or murder, one fact is incontrovertibly true.
00:33:22.000It was chillingly convenient for the Windsors that Diana died when she did.
00:33:27.000The last holiday she spent with her boys, with me for nearly two weeks, she was worried and she told me exactly what's going to happen to her.
00:33:36.000So she definitely rocked the boat in an extraordinary fashion.
00:34:02.000Others suspect foul play, a staged crash involving a mysterious white feat Uno, perhaps on the orders of Prince Philip.
00:34:08.000The French report into the crash has been kept secret.
00:34:11.000The British report was riddled with contradictions.
00:34:14.000Several coroners came and went, and attempts to hold the inquest without a jury were overturned.
00:34:19.000So here we are, at last, at the start of an inquest that may finally turn the full floodlights onto the workings of the British establishment and the royal family.
00:34:28.000The media call this the Diana inquest, forgetting that three people died in that clash, not just Diana, but Dodi Fired and Driver Enrip 2.
00:34:38.000Apparently there is a meritocracy even in death, and some demises are considered more important than others.
00:34:44.000That's me, Keith Allen, outside the Royal Courts of Justice.
00:34:48.000Note that name, Royal Courts of Justice.
00:34:52.000A sure sign of impartiality in a case where the credibility of the royal family is on trial.
00:34:57.000In the royal courts of justice with a judge, or coroner, as he's called here, who has sworn an oath of allegiance to the Queen and has Queen's counsellors on every side, and has already said that he is minded not to call senior royals as witnesses.
00:35:12.000Historically, the relationship between the royal family courts has been difficult, mainly because every judge has taken an oath of allegiance to the Queen.
00:35:21.000Now, if you've taken an oath of allegiance to the Queen and you have a legal case involving the monarchy, I mean, you're going to be biased, aren't you?
00:35:31.000Curiously, the media have decided the outcome of the inquest before it's even begun and have already declared it a waste of time and money.
00:35:39.000Many media organisations, including the BBC, have even sent their royal reporters to cover it rather than their legal reporters.
00:35:46.000Our royal correspondent, Nicholas Witchell, is at the High Court, Nick.
00:35:49.000Yet Diana was no longer royal at the time of her death, and BBC royal reporters are required to spend their lives shamelessly sucking up to the palace and presenting the Windsors to the public in a favourable light.
00:36:12.000So what chance is there of impartiality from them?
00:36:16.000With most people getting their news about the inquest from journalists with such an obvious bias, I thought it was important that somebody with an open mind also reported on it.
00:36:50.000I've only, I know him because obviously Lily Allen's dad, but I saw a documentary he did on the Westboro Baptist Church, you know, the God Hates Fags people when they were really big, you know, in their heyday, 15 years ago, whatever.
00:37:00.000And he's so funny because he, as he's talking to them about homosexuality, and maybe some guy from San Francisco is like a homosexual who joined the Westboro Baptist Church, and he's really quizzing them on their stuff about homosexuality.
00:37:14.000It then goes to him narrating in the studio.
00:37:16.000And then you notice that he's actually bent over, getting fucked by some guy.
00:37:25.000And then he just pays the guy and the guy walks off.
00:37:27.000So even when he's doing a documentary about that, he's still making jokes which involve him getting boned by some guy and him paying him, like paying the male prostitute.
00:38:18.000From the outset, it was clear that the coroner was firmly on the side of the establishment.
00:38:22.000Hardly surprising, as he's part of it.
00:38:25.000I thought the story of the opening day would be the coroner points the jury in the direction of it being an accident, which he clearly did.
00:38:36.000And also the fact he was anticipating what the former leader of the London police was going to say without him being there.
00:38:44.000I anticipate that Lord Stevens will give evidence that he was trying to reassure the Paul that their son had not been as drunk as a pig as had been alleged in some newspaper.
00:38:57.000Seems to me that the establishment have been talking to each other and squaring their stories before the inquest gets underway.
00:39:32.000There's something very odd going on around here.
00:39:34.000And what makes it all the more odd is that the juiciest bits, the bits that are striking me as being the murkiest of all, aren't being reported anywhere.
00:39:54.000She would have been straight up queen.
00:40:52.000Shakespeare Shylock wasn't actually a bad character at all.
00:40:56.000He was just a foreigner who wanted justice, but was swindled out of it.
00:41:00.000It's interesting that it's going on some interesting tangents.
00:41:03.000me saying this at all he was just a foreigner who wanted justice but was swindled out of it by the venetian establishment you know here's fired the oriental going and saying by the way i want a fair trial and they're saying well no just a minute you know it's all over i mean don't bother Don't be serious.
00:41:27.000When you read that, you can also read it as an essay in the way in which the establishment, the Venetian establishment, suddenly find themselves confronted by an outsider who's demanding his rights.
00:42:55.000All the royals wanted was a brood mayor crossed with a clothes horse.
00:42:59.000The establishment didn't want the idea of a future king of England having a Muslim half-brother or sister.
00:43:09.000There's only one conspiracy theory, as far as I'm concerned, to do the death of Diana, and that is a conspiracy that has grown up that it was an accident.
00:43:18.000Before a single witness had been called.
00:43:21.000I think the remaining thing that needs to be done is the jury bailiffs need to be sworn for the journey to Paris.
00:44:04.000This is where the jury will gather to retrace Diana and Dodie's final journey.
00:44:10.000We'll have to be careful not to film the jury, because we could be sent to prison for contempt if we show their faces, even though anyone who bothers to come here can see perfectly well who they are.
00:44:26.000Oh, there's Pos Spice, who just happens to walk out of the Ritz while the world's cameras are here.
00:44:33.000Diana was a celebrity who was supposedly hounded by the paparazzi, yet now here's another celebrity using the inquest as a chance for a photo opportunity with the paparazzi.
00:44:51.000This bus is officially a courtroom, we've been told, and must be treated with the same dignity as the royal courts of justice themselves.
00:44:59.000But oh dear, first it appears to have knocked a policeman off his motorcycle and now and our tire has just burst, thereby some Britain, man.
00:45:50.000As well as endlessly debating whether Dodi might have impregnated Diana, the inquest devoted several weeks to a minute investigation of her periods, contraceptives, and sexual habits.
00:46:01.000It's almost as though the establishment wanted to demythologize her in the eyes of ordinary people by putting her uterus on public display.
00:46:09.000And by going in with Dodie Fayed and falling in love with him, as I believe she absolutely did, head over heels with the guy, you've got the ultimate cocktail of danger for the British establishment.
00:46:22.000Perhaps it was unwise for Dino and Dodie together.
00:46:33.000It was unwise for Dino and Dodie to get together, but they clearly fell deeply in love.
00:46:38.000And thinking about the way their lives were prematurely snuffed out had a strangely melancholic effect on me that night.
00:46:44.000Right from the start, the circumstances surrounding the crash were suspicious.
00:46:48.000Within a day, before tests on Henri Paul's blood had even been completed, the French authorities had leaked a story to the press that this was a simple accident, caused by a driver who was drunk as a pig.
00:46:59.000Although the only alcohol he seems to have consumed that night was two recards, less than one quarter of the amount the French authorities claimed he'd drunk.
00:47:08.000He certainly seemed sober minutes before he drove to Mercedes, and within hours of the crash, French police had allowed a road-sweeping van to wash away all the evidence.
00:47:57.000I was at home last week when he arrived, told him what I was doing, and he immediately turned round and said, Oh yeah, but MI5 did that, didn't they?
00:48:05.000And the trouble is, intelligent people believe this shit and get carried away with it.
00:48:11.000I mean, people do love a conspiracy theory, don't they?
00:48:18.000This is the only way most people get to know what's going on at the inquest, and there's no doubt that almost all of the media had already reached their verdict long before the inquest started.
00:48:28.000Yet most of the hacks covering it didn't understand the detailed evidence they were hearing and had no idea of how the establishment was manipulating events behind the scenes and deciding what could and could not be said.
00:48:42.000The coroner even prevented the jury from knowing about the state of the relationship between Philip and Diana.
00:48:46.000The prince's letters were redacted, as the court called it, or censored into incomprehensibility, as the rest of us call it.
00:48:55.000When a close friend of Diana's wanted to tell the inquest about deeply hostile letters that the prince had written to Diana not long before her death, she was forbidden to do so.
00:49:04.000Initially, I had great hopes for the inquest until I got the gagging order on me.
00:49:10.000Somebody came in and said, are you not allowed to mention the content of the Prince Philip letters?
00:49:18.000And in effect, it's like having gagging orders slapped on me.
00:49:22.000The first one was making assertions on her moral character.
00:49:26.000It was doubting her faithfulness to Charles before Harry was born.
00:49:34.000And you just wonder how many people have been paid off in this whole charade.
00:49:55.000The upshot being that most journalists are instinctively pro-establishment and are unwilling to accept that the official story about Dinah's death just does not make sense.
00:50:04.000Well, it's difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on him not understanding it.
00:50:12.000The most daunting aspect was the media attention.
00:50:15.000And I seem to be on the front of a newspaper every single day.
00:50:18.000And the higher the media put you, place you, is the bigger the drop.
00:50:26.000Just after midnight on the 31st of August 1997, Diana and Dodie left the Paris Ritz in a Mercedes driven by Henri Paul.
00:50:38.000But on this occasion, she did not put it on.
00:50:42.000When the car was subsequently examined by a crash expert on behalf of the Metropolitan Police, the rear-right seatbelt was found to be defective.
00:50:52.000Was this why Diana was not wearing a seatbelt that night?
00:50:56.000And why was the inquest not told about this?
00:50:59.000Some of the paparazzi outside the hotel set off in pursuit, but their scooters and motorcycles were unable to keep up with the much more powerful car.
00:51:08.000Police evidence given at the inquest confirmed that by the time the Mercedes entered the armour tunnel, all the pursuing paparazzi had been left far behind.
00:51:17.000Yet eyewitnesses saw several motorcycles and a white Fiat Uno surrounding the Mercedes and blocking its progress as it entered the tunnel.
00:51:28.000Then the white Fiat Uno collided with the Mercedes, which lost control and crashed headfirst into a concrete pillar.
00:51:34.000All the other vehicles have never been identified.
00:51:38.000And they've certainly been excluded as being paparazzi because there was a very close analysis done of all the known paparazzi who were on duty that night.
00:52:49.000Sir Richard Dearler said he was unaware of MI6 ever having assassinated anyone.
00:52:57.000When you have the head of the British security services calmly announcing we have never killed anybody in the last 50 years, I laughed out loud.
00:53:07.000We've all been to James Bond movies, thanks.
00:53:09.000We know the security services do a lot of dark stuff.
00:53:12.000So the idea that we're supposed to believe that in 50 years the British secret agents Ask Pierce about himself then compared to, say, just say, hey.
00:53:26.000It'd be kind of an interesting take because this is on the side of conspiracy theorists.
00:53:33.000Yeah, at the beginning of the pandemic, he really came out to bat for the government and like get your shots and people should be shamed and all that stuff.
00:53:40.000He was obviously his position is amended, but yeah, he's been in and around power for a long time now.
00:53:53.000And so if you don't believe that, where does that leave the rest of the establishment evidence?
00:53:58.000Of all the lies told to the inquest, the most absurd was that the British Secret Services have never killed anybody.
00:54:04.000This shameless lie was exposed by Richard Tomlinson, a former MI6 agent, who gave evidence to the inquest by video link from France.
00:54:12.000He couldn't come to Britain because if he had, he would have been instantly arrested.
00:54:17.000Tomlinson saw a secret MI6 plan to assassinate a Serbian leader in a car crash in a tunnel by flashing a very bright light into the driver's eyes.
00:54:27.000At first I just thought it was a joke and I refused to believe the officer when he told me about it because he first of all outlined it to me verbally.
00:54:35.000And then I went back to see him a couple of days later for another matter and he sort of gave me a copy of the, he showed me the minute to sort of prove that he hadn't been joking about it.
00:54:45.000And so that's, I remember that very clearly.
00:54:50.000Well there have been other times in my life where I have been involved in death, yes.
00:55:09.000Curiously, several witnesses who were near the Alma Tunnel at the time of the crash reported seeing a bright flash seconds before the collision.
00:55:16.000Have you ever driven at night when some careless driver is coming at you with his headlights on full beam?
00:56:24.000Instead, an ambulance containing Dr. Jean-Marc Martino arrived at the scene.
00:56:29.000Although other ambulances were also present, he took sole charge of the princess and made a series of bizarre and disturbing decisions that sealed her fate.
00:56:37.000It took an astonishing 37 minutes after the crash for Dr. Martino to remove the still-conscious Diana from the Mercedes and put her in his ambulance.
00:56:45.000Odd, because the back of the car was undamaged.
00:56:48.000It took an extraordinary 81 minutes after the crash before the ambulance even set up for the nearby hospital.
00:56:54.000Oddly, it made no radio contact with Ambulance HQ throughout the journey.
00:56:59.000It took an inexplicable one hour and 43 minutes after the crash before the ambulance arrived at the nearby hospital, having traveled there at a snail's place on empty roads.
00:57:10.000By then, Diana's life was ebbing away.
00:57:16.000At the inquest, experts agreed that her life could have been saved had it not been for the suspiciously slow and furtive actions of Dr. Martino and his crew, the other members of which have never been officially identified or interviewed.
00:57:28.000There is no dispute that at about 12.26, the emergency services in Paris were notified that there had been a serious car crash.
00:57:38.000There were two dead, two seriously injured.
00:57:41.000So all he needed at 12.35, if I may say so, through you, was one call saying, look, I think we may have a real problem here.
